I stand with them. Doctors and nurses and all care workers are working in a pandemic with unfair remuneration and no PPE. Meanwhile, governments are propping up and bailing out useless Billionaires and carving out kickbacks for politicians. All while refusing to order lockdown.

As they should. Doctors and nurses are people too. As most of the British public is at home for fear of contracting the disease, they also want to be at home. They’re already risking their lives, the very least the NHS under Boris Johnson can do is mitigate the risk.

All Europe have the same problem.

Here, retired nurse/doctors volunteer to work again.

And here in Pakistan from the 1st day we perform our duties with simple surgical face mask and with out any protective kit....🙂

Think of other resources..

Our doctors under 800 sanctions, never threatened to quit! We lost 43 doctors in one month 😔 Dear western countries, now , can you find out our problems, problems that you made. For what?! Do we have nuclear weapons?! You know it,s a lie. End this brutal genocide. End sanctions

If a doctor is victim of any disease, the lives which are depending on him/her in number of thousands can't get the treatment. Save them before the chaos worsen and if any one of them gets an infection give his/her leave and rest...

Difference between American doctors and government run doctors. I don’t hear American healthcare workers threatening this at all. That’s because we have the best. Heroes.

As sad as this sounds, I can see this happening in the US

So quit,. We'll hire new people. Not news.
